Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, who had just re gigned as senator to become the new attorney general, passed away on an Atlantie Coast line train near Wilson, N. C., as he was on his way from Flor ida to Washington. His death was gudden and was a great shock to his official associates and his multitude of friends. He was married only a few days before in Havana, Cuba, to Senora Nieves Chaumont de Truflin, a wealthy widow, and she was with him at the time of his demise. Senator Walsh, who was seventy- three years old, was born in Two Riv- ers, Wis. When he resigned he was serving his fourth term in the senate, in which body he served his country ably and faithfully. He was consid ered one of the leading authorities on the Constitution. Walsh was perma- nent chairman of the Democratic na- tional conventions of 1924 and 1082. OST immediate of the problems before Secretary of State Cordell Hull is the Sino-Japanese embroglio, which now is really a war, With his full approval the State department already had sent a note to Geneva expressing “general accord” with the League of Na. tions’ action in con demning the Japanese military policy In Man- churia. Though this action was profound: ly disturbing to the ! Tokyo government, Japan went right ahead with its campaign for the con- quest of the Chinese province of Jehol. The governor of the province, Tang Yu-lin, mustered all available forces for defense but his troops were stead. fly driven back by the thoroughly trained and equipped Japanese col umns that were advancing on three lines toward the city of Jehol, Great Britain followed up the action of the League of Nations by declaring an arms embargo against both Japan and China, Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon explaining that his gov ernment would under no eircum- stances be drawn into the conflict and did not favor one against the other, Both China and Japan resented this, though it was apparent to every one that, ns Senator Borah said, “to put nn arms embargo on China and Japan ig to take sides with Jupun under the oR Tang Yulin conditions and circumstances that ex- ist.” The British openly hoped that the United States would join in the embargo policy, but there Is strong opposition to this among the members of congress. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of 1llinols voiced this opposition in a speech in the senate, warning the nation that application of an embargo against both China and Japan or against Japan alone might involve us in anothér disastrous foreign He told his colleagues that already has sold all the arms to both nations they can pay for, and In ad dition has sold them the with which munitions can be factured.” war “Britain machinery manu One of the peculiar angles of the Japanese Invasion of Jehol Is that if it succeeds it may prove disastrous to the cause of Communism in China.

And it looks like a rocky road to scme of the unblased observers.

The wets recognize the size of their job. It is agreed by all observers here that the wets are organized now better than they have ever been. They have men and women with brains, and a very great deal of money. That money will be spent for speakers, for literature, for general campaign pur. poses, ‘fhe drys, on the other hand, are not equipped with money to any par ticular extent, Nor is it believed that they have leadership of the type of the late Wayne B. Wheeler, who by sheer force of his personality and po litical acumen, drove the Eighteenth amendment through congress fourteen years ago.
